After interviewing someone from our target audience, we have a better understanding of what to include in our music video, album artwork and band image. We are going to be taking some influences from the audience profile and incorportate it into out work, for example we have thought about the style of videos he likes, he has made it clear that he doesn't like solo dance videos or videos that don't reflect the song or lyrics that are completely unrelated. So we are going to try our best to make sure that in some way or another, our video reflects the song that we have chosen.

  1. Another good post Bank. Try and find some examples of videos which you think your audience would like

    This video is all performance and simply uses torches, a blue tint to reflect water and a twinkling effect like light reflecting of sea.
